Where did a month go???

Honestly, it's been a month since my last post?  WOW!!!  I don't know where the weeks have gone.  Doesn't it seem that as you get older, time speeds up?

There's good news with the DS...he got his next assignment!  Jenna and he will be going to JAPAN!!!!  Can you believe it?  I was totally in shock and so were they because they never expected an assignment like this... They will be stationed at Kadena AFB in Okinawa.  He hasn't gotten his official orders but I expect that by mid-January, they will be there.  So we will have a flurry of activity in the next couple of months as they prepare for their latest adventure. 

And I've painted and stitched this month.  I've painted a LOT of Halloween things that sold briskly to the gals at work.  And now I'm beginning Christmas things.  I stitched this cutie: 

and this one too:

but I haven't made them into ornaments yet.  I've also stitched a Halloween exchange with the All Season's Ornament Exchange group. It will be mailed this week.  I love what I made and I hate to part with it.  Isn't that the way it always is though??

I had great intentions of finishing up my Halloween bowl fillers but I ran out of time this weekend.  The weekend blew by!  I hope to get to them this weekend. 

And I decorated the house up for Halloween....here's a picture of the mantle & fireplace...I did the kitchen shelf and the sunroom/porch area too.

So, thanks for paying a visit!  I hope you'll stop by again soon.  Have a great week!!!
